While walking back from the Portland women’s march on Saturday, we were freezing cold and wet. With about 1.5 miles left to go, I spotted a 328xi with a ReachNow sticker and remembered that I had signed up for that about a year ago without ever using it. 10 minutes later, I was driving my peeps home in a brand new BMW.

What did it cost me? $6.34!

Also, since this is Oppo, how about some comments on the 328xi? Ok, sure. Ignoring its enthusiast chops, it was perfect. Amazing 8-speed auto, smooth and powerful (enough) 4-cyl turbo, great interior, the best in-dash screen of any automaker besides Tesla, roomy (enough), and very nice looking. As a car enthusiast and owner of an E-xx era BMW, I could have used a bit more excitement, but I’d really have to reach to find any complaints. Unless you’re a hydraulic steering, straight six, manual, RWD purist (and I kind of am), the actual experience of driving the thing was fantastic. Knowing that a new one costs over $50,000 tempers that a little when a Mazda6 is 85% as nice for half 50% of the cost.

I had never heard of ReachNow before.

A BMW car sharing service in Seattle, Portland, and Brooklyn is the most yuppie thing ever imagined.

I don’t have any idea what ReachNow is. Well, I didn’t. Apparently it’s a car-sharing service that’s only in Seattle, Portland, and Brooklyn? Sounds pretty hip, most people probably haven’t heard of it. :-P

In any case, this reads like an ad (one that would make you search for more info), so I only felt a little dirty about searching for it.

Did you respect the women’s right to choose the car? Or were you forcing your Germanic wishes on them like some sort of oppressor?

Hmm, I don’t want it to read like an ad, but I didn’t have any complaints. Now I feel dirty.

I respected their right to experience 240 horsepowers of fury all the way up to a top speed of 25 mph.
